===============
While Tuesday’s “Scream Queens” avoided a decline in the key adults 18-49 demographic, it endured a week-over-week loss in total viewership.
Barring an upward adjustment in the finals, it will rank as the least-watched episode on record.
Per Nielsen fast national data, Tuesday’s episode drew a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating and 2.362 million total viewers. The demo rating matches last week’s series low number, while the viewership total is down from that episode’s 2.512 million viewer mark.
As it stands, this week’s viewership total represents a series low. The previous low of 2.393 million came for the October 13 episode.
FOX’s Tuesday lineup also included “Grandfathered” (1.0, 2.985 million vs. 1.0, 3.046 million last week) and “The Grinder” (0.9, 2.376 million vs. 0.8, 2.562 million last week).
While “The Grinder” was up in adults 18-49, its viewership total — as well as that of “Grandfathered” — represents a new series low.
